Drinks so little, sleep through the night

Hi mummies. i would to know if it is okay to let my 4 months (corrected age 3 months) baby sleep throughout the night 5/6 hours drinking less than required amount of intake. - he drinks 80ml - 100ml every 3/4 hours - he just took his 4 months vaccine last friday. recoverd from fever yesterday. - his urine output is fine. also. i know each babies tummy is different but how do you get your LO to increase their amount of intake as we have been going back and forth with his feeding issue & milk strike.. and the amount has been stagnant. TIA. #advicepls #FTM #ingintahu

80-100ml for every 3 to 4 hours should be ok as long as he is growing well (i e. not losing weight or stagnant weight) and having 6 to 8 wet diapers a day. also ok to let him sleep through the night if he is growing well. at 3 4 months old the world is very attractive to them so they tend to get distracted drinking milk.. can try to feed them in a quiet, plain room and use the same room if possible to reduce the distractions.
